Is "Your-of-sky" a real name? Sounds kind of kuku to me.
Most likely coined by some pseudo spiritual lunatic.
Its time to trust your own body needs than some online vids done by some hairless dude.

This guy is my idol.
Gary Yourofsky (born August 19, 1970[1]) is an American animal rights activist.
Yourofsky was sponsored by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) between the years 2002–2005, and has lectured about veganism to more than 60,000 students in middle school, high school and college.[2][non-primary source needed]
He has been arrested 13 times between the years 1997–2001, and has spent 77 days in a Canadian maximum security prison in 1999, after raiding a fur farm in Canada, releasing 1,542 mink in 1997.[2][3]

1996–2001: Early years as an activist[edit source | editbeta]
In 1996, Yourofsky founded Animals Deserve Absolute Protection Today and Tomorrow (ADAPTT), a vegan organization opposed to any usage of animals. By 2001, the organization had amassed around 2,200 members.[4]
On March 30, 1997, Yourofsky, alongside 4 members of the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), raided a fur farm in Blenheim, Ontario, Canada, and released 1,542 mink, who were scheduled to be slaughtered for their fur.[2] The raid reportedly caused damage estimated at C$500,000 to the farm.[5] He was arrested by Canadian officials, and sentenced to six months in a Canadian maximum-security prison in 1999.[6] Out of the six months, Yourofsky spent 77 days in prison.[2]
The experience affected Yourofsky, who said "[he] was no more than an animal in the zoo. It wasn't pleasant", and that it has reinforced "[his] empathy and understanding of what these animals go through".[5][non-primary source needed]
In the fall of 2000, Yourofsky received $10,000 from PETA, to fund the broadcasting of a commercial against "the animal slavery enterprise known as the circus". The commercial was broadcasted 69 times on a local television channel.[4]
In 2001, Yourofsky began facing financial problems. In an interview, Yourofsky stated he is "in debt up to [his] ears", and that "[he owes] at least $30,000 on credit cards". His financial troubles reportedly halted his activism for a period of 3 months that year.[4]
2002–2005: PETA sponsorship[edit source | editbeta]
In early 2002, Yourofsky resigned as president of ADAPTT, due to financial troubles. A day after sending his resignation letter, he received a telephone call from Ingrid Newkirk, president of PETA, who offered him a job. Employment negotiations between the two ended on May 20, 2002, with Yourofsky being made the organization's official, national lecturer.[7]
In 2002, Yourofsky declared to a reporter his "unequivocal support" for ALF arson fires.[8][9]
2005–present: Leaving PETA and continued activism[edit source | editbeta]
Yourofsky was invited to give a talk on "Ethical Veganism" to a class at University of Southern Indiana on April 2, 2007. The university handbook contained a provision that outside speakers must "not advocate violation of any federal or state law.", and a professor at the university presented claims from Yourofsky's website that he found to be infringing the policy to the university provost, resulting in the cancellation of Yourofsky's talk.[10][11] After objections from free speech advocates at the school, the policy was revised and Yourofsky gave his talk.[12]
Part of Yourofsky's well known speech on veganism was featured in the 2012 speciesism movie, "The Superior Human?"[13][14][15]

In a 2005 interview, Yourofsky criticized the Humane Society of the United States, the strategies used by PETA, and its president, Ingrid Newkirk. In the same interview, Yourofsky said:
When questioned about that statement, Yourofsky replied: "I am a proud advocate of violence as evil people deserve nothing but evil in return."[17] However, Yourofsky felt dismayed about the statement being, in his opinion, overused by meat advocates, accusing them of Google bombing.[16]

some parts of the video showing vegan muscle man and he talks about veggie giving protein and more to it.
It seems like the intelligence of Jews are on par with mine. No wonder i always feel that sinkies are dumbfucks... i guess i am too smart for sinkies.
